Vineyard Notes: Vines are sourced from the Rio Sordo Valley, on the south ridge that since 2006 takes the name of Tre Stelle MGA. Vines were planted between 1997 to 2005. Harvest is manual.

Winemaking Notes: The skins remain in contact with the must during fermentation for 30-35 days depending on vintage. Fermentation occurs naturally with native yeast in stainless steel. The skins are submersed during fermentation via pump overs. Malolactic fermentation completes in the cellar at temperature of 20°C (68°F). The wine ages in large traditional Slavonian (Garbellotto) and Swiss (Suppiger) oak barrels, both untoasted, for about 20-22 months and matures in the bottle for at least 8 months. No filtration or clarification is done before bottling. It is bottled with minimal additions of sulfites.

Tasting Notes: Elegant notes of rose, violet, red berries, leather, plus a fresh vein of minerality. Ethereal. Great finesse and silkiness in the tannins structure, classy and vertical. Well balanced with long persistence. Tre Stelle is Nebbiolo in all its beauty.
